Thank you for restacking. Once, I had to tell the truth about how I related to my own story. I want to share it. One more thing: when I was young, in the fifties and early sixties, a private entrepreneur could be a tobacconist, a hairdresser, and not much else. Farmers and plumbers were forced into kolhoz-like cooperatives. Instead of a market economy, everything was state-run and state-controlled. Travel to the West was forbidden. Even visiting my family living in Romania was rare and difficult. It was called “real socialism”. After the brutal oppression of the 1956 revolution, a gradual normalization started, and freedom was regained drop by drop. The real freedom began in 1989-90. Democracy arrived. My thriving mainly occurred in the next twenty years. Then, it was gradually stolen by a nepotist hybrid Orbán regime we are suffering from now. Today, on our national holiday, a huge demonstration will show we have had enough.
Hi Zsolt, talked about you yesterday in my LIVE on Substack. I just love that you're meeting Gabby on a regular basis IRL and I also do like your openness. You dare to share all these stories. The bad things that happened and the good.
I'd be honored if you'd write a guest post about sharing your anecdotes and memoirs
As a child, I was an extrovert and adored performing poems in front of many people. In the first 25 years of my career, I was an intelligence officer working in the shadows and got used to staying in the shadows. My extraversion was muted. Thirty-five years have passed since, and I lived an exciting life. Extraversion unmuted. A few friends told me they saw my achievements but would prefer to see the man behind them. Kurz und gut: I would love to write you a guest post if we find a subject. Also, chatting on a podcast could be interesting one day.
Kristina,

Thank you, Kristina.
